So You Have Loved Me Too - Chapter 49

Chapter 49: Unexpected Time Alone – Part 5

The white one was a little longer and paired with a suit jacket. Without hesitation, she took it down and changed into it.

With her long hair hanging freely, she put on light makeup by only applying some liquid foundation.

At first, she thought she would stick out like a sore thumb, yet when she got there, she discovered it was a very unostentatious event. Most of the attendees were lecturers from prestigious universities or relevant leaders from the Cultural Affairs Bureau.

It was entirely a cultural exchange.

As Ji Ruoqian mentioned, it was wholly a cultural exchange filled only with scholarly people gathering together to speak unfettered.

In the crowd, she found Yang Yufang standing with several ladies who were around her age. Although she was adorned with branded products and very extravagant, she could not surpass their confidence.

Ha. Her grandfather executed the ruse stealthily, despite distinctly aware her mother-in-law did not even graduate from junior middle school, much less make it into a senior high. She only got accepted by the Jis and elevated to enter the household after giving birth to Ji Jingfeng.

The old man was too much for making her participate in such cultural exchange activities!

“Madam Ji’s skincare is excellent.”

The middle-aged women stared at Yang Yufang’s complexion and scrutinized it.

“Last year, when I went to Europe for further studies, Prof. XX gave me a book about women’s self-improvement. Has Madam Ji read it?”

“Erm…”

Yang Yufang was not well-read to begin with, much less acquainted with books from abroad. She felt so awkward that she blushed.

On hearing the subject of their conversation, Ji Anning hurriedly walked over, “Mom, Auntie Liu called today asking if you want to go to Thailand to try the spas and milk baths.”

Following that, she nodded politely and gave a courteous but false smile to the bunch of women standing next to Yang Yufang.

Lin Yanqin already broadcasted to the entire world that the Jis’ second young madam used to work as a night club hostess. Everyone in their circles knew.

Yet, here these women were, deliberately flaunting their knowledge while they chatted. Sometimes, educated people were meaner.

In astonishment, Yang Yufang turned her head to look at Ji Anning. When she caught sight of the sly glint in Ji Anning’s eyes, she promptly realized, so she smiled and said, “Didn’t we just go last week? I invited the best masseuse to come and work for us.”

Since all she had was wealth and could not rival them in terms of knowledge, she could only high-handedly overwhelm them with her riches.

One after another, varying degrees of uneasiness emerged on those women’s faces.

All of them received a fixed income. Even if there was a crumb of ill-gotten profit, they had to spend their money wisely. Going specifically to Thailand for a spa trip and hiring a masseuse from overseas were luxuries they could only dream of in their lives.

Yang Yufang walked towards Ji Anning and held her hand. She smiled and introduced, “This is my daughter-in-law, Anning.”

At the sound of it, the women were astonished.

“Didn’t your son recently start university? Has he married already?”

Yang Yufang pursed her lips and smiled blissfully.

“But Madam Ji, this daughter-in-law of yours genuinely resembles you a little. You must be fated to be a mother and daughter-in-law.”

Someone looked at Ji Anning and then looked at Yang Yufang as she smiled and said.

At the sound of that, a look of peculiarity flashed across Yang Yufang’s eyes rapidly before she held Ji Anning’s hand lovingly and pulled her to her side. She smiled as she told those women, “Anning, lived with me since young.”

“Anning.”

Suddenly, someone called for her. It was a voice she recently got familiar with this past couple of days, and it made Ji Anning stiffen abruptly.

Yang Yufang was the first to turnm glancing in the voice’s direction.
